Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 21, 1918.

Application filed February 2, 1918. Serial N 0. 76,848.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it lrnowr that I, Guonoa E. MARLA'r'r, a citizen of he United States,residing at Pasadena in the county of Los Angeles and State ofCalifornia, have invented a new and useful Improvement in TypographicalMachines, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to typographical machines of the linotype class andthe primary object is to provide a simplified and oll cient machinecn'ibodying a plurality of matrix magazines for receiving, storin anddischarging the matrices from whici the type slugs are cast.

' A further and particular object of this invention consists in theprovision of a multiple magazine machine having a single matrixdistributing system for returning the .20vmatrices to the magazinesafter use but so Withdrawn therefrom may arranged as to permit thematrices from two of the magazines to be mixed in the assembled line andautomatically distributed to the proper magazine after the castingopera- A further object is to provide means whereby any one of theseveral magazines may be moved to a common operative position so thatthe matrices when they are fall a fixed and uniform distance to thematrix assembling means.

A further object is to render the individual magazines capable ofmovement to operative position with a minimum efl'ort on the part of theoperator and to render it nonecessary for the operator to leave his seatat the keyboard.

A further object'is to provide means-for the ready removal of a selectedmagazine or magazines from the machine and another or other of themagazines substituted therefor. without necessitating the stoppage ofthe machine or disturbing the operator.

.Other objects may appear in the subjoined detailed description of myinvention.

Referrin to the drawings which accompuny and Form a part of thisspecification and in which similar characters of reference indicate thesame parts throughout the several views of the drawings, Figure l is aright hand elevation of my improvedmachine showing the magazines andoperating means therefor; Fig. 2 is an enlarged for supports for theWard section of the magazine operating means; Fig. 3 is an enlargedsection of the magazine operating screw; Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectionof the magazine operating lever and cushion means; Fig. 5 larged sectionof the magazine operating shaft locking means; Fig. 6 is an enlargedelevation, pa tly in section. of the magazines and support therefor, thedistributing head and the multiple magazine entrances; Fig. 7 is anenlarged section of the lower end of one of the magazines and improvedescapement means therefor; Fig. 8 1s a rear elevation of a portion ofthe magazine escapement means; Fig. 9 iswperspective view of themagazine operating shaft and key rods showing the manner of deflectingthe key rods to permit the passage of the shaft therethrough; Fig. 10 isa plan of the magazine operating shaft and connections; Fig. 11 is anelevation of the connecting means for the magazine operating means andthe distributor entrance channels; Fig. 12 is an enlarged elevation oithe exterior of the. multiple magazine supports, magazine entrances anddistributing means: is a view showing details of the intermediatechannel member: Fig. 13" is a rear e evation of one of the intermediateentrance channel plates; Fig. is a rar "evaiion of the machine; Fig. 15is a plan of the magazines and the adjacent storage rack and removalmeans; ig.

In order to adapt thecoinmonl used types of typographical machines or use with my improvedmultiple magazine system it is necessary to slightly alter the form ofthe machine frame 1 in some minor particulars. as for instance, the arm2 on the right hand side 01' the machine partakes of a difl'ercnt formfrom that of the ordinary arm 3 on the opposite side,wl1ich arms formdistributing head. The

IS an 811" arm is substantially deflected toward the rear of the machineas showi'i in Fig. l, and is provided with the rearwardly directed ttenson ll All arm on the opposite side oi the min-lune frame and theextension 1 on the arm 3 have alincd bearings 6 and 7 which receive thepins 8 and 9 for pivotally holding the opposite multiple magazine frames1 and 11. The arms 12 and 13 of the magazine frames 10 and 11 are heldon the pins 8 and. 9 and the lower ends 14 and of the frames are formedwith their edges parallel to radial lines from the axis oi" the pins and9 and are suitably recessed and cored out as and for the purposes hereinzelfer des ribed.

The arms 12 and 13 of the frames 10 and 11 are curved forwardly of andclear the distributing mechanism and head regardless of the position ofthe frames relative thereto and the lower portions 14 and 15 of theframes are arranged for holding sev and of the matrix magazines 16 inposition in. the machine and on radial lines from the axis of the pins band 9 in the bearings 6 and T. The upper ends of the magazines,

when in position in the frames, converge and the lower ends aresubstantially spaced apart in order to provide space for the mag azineescapement mechanismand verges.

The magazineslfi are su por ed on the frames 10 and 11 by means 0 Lshaped bars 17 which extend laterally of and are suitably secured to thetop plates 18 of the magazines The bars 17 overlap and are slidable onthe "T-shaped bars 19 which arallel the bars 17 and aresecured to the.ottom plates of the magazines. The ends 20 of the bars 19 are squared tofit into recesses of similar form in the frame portions 14 and l 3 andthe extensions 21 of the bars 17 on the magazines engage the extensionson the bars 19, as shown in Figs. 1 and 12. A bar 17' is secured toopposite sides of the frame and engages the bar- 17 on the upper agazine16 for supporting the upper magazine while the other magazines are beingplaced in position on the frame and the lower magazines are sns endedone on the other by means of the ars 17 and 19.

Tongues 18 on the upper ends'of the ma amines are slightly beveled onthe sides an engage corresponding recesses in the sides of the magazineframe adjacent to the upper ends of the magazines for independentlysupporting the converging ends of the magazines. The ends 20 of the bars19 may be similarly beveled together with their frame recesses, so thatwhen the magazines are placed they will be slightly raised from contactwith. the magazine below and thus imlepcndontlv supported.

Additional summer-ts for the magazines 16 on the frames Ill --11 areProvided in the the rel-reticular llFllS 53:? which are secured to themagazines and are adapted to slidably engage the angle bars 23 whichconnect the two opposite frame members, this set of bars being providedfor each of the ma azines and'near the lower ends thereof.

he left hand, or a, selected side of the magazine frame is designed tobe closed, as shown in Fig. 12, and the opposite side, as shown in,Fig.1, is designed to be open for the entire length of the magazines inorder to permit the insertion and removal of the magazines into and fromthe frame. It is apparent that in order to insert in and remove amagazine or magazines from the frame it is necessary to provideclearance for the escapement mechanism which is attached to themagazines, and for this purpose clearance openings 24 are rov'ided atthe lower end of the right hand Frame member 14 so that when a magazineis moved into or out of position in the frame the eseapement mechanismwill pass tlirou h the openings 24 and the magazine wil slide bodily onthe bars 17 and 19 and 22 and 23; as hereinafter more fully described. t

The magazines 16 and the frames 10 and 11 for supporting the magazinesare movable as a unit on the fulcrum pins 8 and 9 and the top and bottomplates of the magezines will at all times occupy positions parallel toradial lines from the axes of the pins 8 and 9 and the established spacebetween and the arrangement of the magazines will at all times bepreserved when the ma azines are moved so as to substitute one oranother of the ma azines in operative relation to the assemb mgmechanism.

Means is provided which I will now dcscribe, for maintaining themagazines and frame in a selected position for placing any one of themagazines in operative position relative to the assembling mechanism.

A central rib 25 is provided on the inclined magazine frame fioor 26which has a curved outer edge, so formed as to com- I ensate for themovement of the magazine rame and which is adapted to receive theflanged roller 27 revolubly carried on a pin 28. in the upper end 29 ofthe magazine operating lever 30. The lower end 31 of the lever ispivoted on a stud 32 at the. base of the machine frame column to theframe 1, and at a point slightly below the center of the lever a boss 33is formed on the lever with an internal slot or recess 34 for pivotallyreceiving the end 35 of a link 36 which is pivoted to the lever on a pin'37 and the opposite end or stem of the link. is slidable in the end 38of a tube 39' which is slidably mounted. in a lug 40 formed .on the rearedge of the frame 1.

The stem of the link 36 carries a spring 41 which is compressiblebetween the end 38 of the tube 39 and the side of the boss 33 of thelever 30 when the lever is moved in the direction of the tube, The tube39 can lies a relatively stronger spring 42 which is compressiblebetween the flan e 43 on the inner end of lhe tube and the inner side ofthe lug 1U 11!! the frame 1. By means of this arrangement, the initialmovement of the lever 30, when the magazine frame is lowered for thepurpose of changing the magazines,

comprcaacs the inner spring 41 until the side of the boss 33.5 on thelever 30 engages the flange 1 on the tube 39, when the tube will becaused to slide in the log 40 on the frame and thus compres therelatively strong spring The increasing tension of the springsit and 4?,as the lever 30 moves outwardly servcs to over-conic the force ofgravity when the magazines and frames approach their lowest positions inthe machine, tor it is apparent, that when the magazine frames aren ttheir highest point the roller 27' will rest. approximately above thefolr-rino tied 32 of the le er 30 and less tension is required toovercome gravity than when the 't'rrnn-a are at thei r lowest point.

The nn'vcmcut of the magazines ainltheir aupporl inn i i-antes isaccomplished by means of a transverse operating-g shaft i i which isjouruatrd in hearing- 4.) and it at the rear and trout. respe tively, ofill; nachine frame 1 The central portion, 1 the shaft 4-4 has a screw t?which is snilieiently elongated and extends through a bore 48 in thelcvenilti above the boss 33 and on which a nut it) is threaded. Links 50which are pivoted to the lever 30 and the not 4'9 on opposite sides li vmeans of screws or pins 51 and 5&2, opcrahly connect. the nut and lever.so that: when the shaft it is turned, the sci-er." 4? will movelongitudinally of the shaft and mumthe lever 30 to mo e therewith.

The in! hard end of the militia -i court til" outward fr m the h n onthe bearing to and the shaft is provided near its rear end and on theinner side of the bearing eh; with a set eollar 55 which prevents arearward movement of the shaf. An operating crank 56 having a suitablehandle 57 s diametrically pivoted to the front end of the shaft '14; ona pin 58 and is provided with an annular flange 59 whichenconipasses'the boss 53 of the hearing 46. A radial rih (30 is.l'orlned on the inner side of the crank 56 which is adapted to engageand seat in a "adial e a (51 formed in the. outer end of the boat-l 323tor the purpose of looking the crank to the shaft.

The magazine operating mechanism just; described serves to move themagazines and flame on their after: so as to place a selected magazinein (j lti'itil'fl relation with the assenililing mechanism, and when therib G0 on the crank 56 is seated in the t ill in extends .the boss 5;;the shaft M will he puvcnted from rotation in its bearings. Thedisengagement of the rib 60 from the slot 61 by moving the handle 57outwardly from the frame permits the crank 56 to be turned and the screwt? on the shaft 44 will move the nut. 49 forwardl} or l'iackwardly onthe shaft 44 according to the direction the crank turned, and, ashereinhefore stated, the movement of the nut. also causes the movementof the lever 30 for a correspomlint distance, the movement of the leverpermitting and causing the movement of the magazines at their lower endseither upwardly or dmvnwardlv, as the case may be.

A pinion 62 on the shaft 44 adjacent to the inner side of the bearing 46at the front end of the shaft meshes with andoperates a. gear 63 whichis pivoted to the frame 1' on a pin 64 and an index or pointer 6.) isattached to the outer end of the pin (:4 for the purpose of indicatingto the operator the movement of the magazines. Suitable graduations areprovided on the frame adjaeent to the pointer (333 and as the shaft 44is turned for moving; the magazines into and out of operative position,the pointer is turned by means of i s geared connection with the shaft,so that th position of the magazines may he 2tCt?Lt1"[tiC-Tl udetermined and established from the front. of the ma chine without thenecessity of the operator leaving his seat at the )oa rd.

The outer end of the pin S which forms the axis far one side of themagazine frame is exten ed inwardly from the bearing 7 in whit-hat is;pivoted and is slotted to receive the upper end of a bar 66 and issecured to this bar by means of a pin (3?. The lower end of the bar $6engagee the upper arm 68 of a hell crank 69 which is pivoted on a screw70 to an arm Tl depending from and secured. to the pin 9 at the upperend. A stud (2 carried by the lower end of the bar 36 extends through sutable opening in the bell crank arintltl and provided on the oppositeside of the bar (it with a spring 73 which is held in tension betweenthe arm 68 and a washer 74', a nut 75 being provided on the end of thestud and the bar 66 and the arm (58 being thus held in resilientengagen'ient The lower arm 76 of the bell crank 69 is pivoted at T7 tothe upper end of a bar 78; the lower end. of the bar 78 is pivoted tothe outer end of an arm 79 fixed to a. longitudinal shaft; 80 which isjournaled in bearings, 81 and 82 on the rear of the arms 2 and 3; an arm83 fixed to the shaft; 80 and similar to the arm 79 which is positionednear the center of the machine in the plane of the lever 30, is pivotedto the upper end of a her 8):; and the lower end of the bar 84 ispivoted to a vertically slidabl-s lock 85 on a. pin 88.

The lock 85 has a vertical slot 86 through which the rear end of theshaft 44; extends and is held on the shaft by means of a set collar 87.The lock 85 has horizontal lugs 89 formed thereon at the top and bottomwhich are extended inwardly and parallel with the shaft 44 and areadapted to engage and seat between the teeth 90 of a gear 91 which isfixed tothe shaft 44 at the rear of the bearing 45 and prevents aforward movement of the shaft in its bearings. The space between thelocking lugs 89 on the lock 85 is slightly greater than the outerdiameter of the gear teeth so that the lock may be so positioned as topro vide clearance petween the gear and both of the locking ugs.

The arms 71 and 71 on opposite sides of the machine serve as supportsfor the multiple distributer entrance which is composed of the framemembers 92 and '93 and the channel members 94 and 95. The arm 71 is heldnormally in the position indicated in Fig. 6 by means of the engagementof the bell crank arm 68 with the fixed arm 66 and the tension of thespring 73. In the event of a matrix becoming bent and failing toentirely enter the channels of the matrix magazines, which frequentlyoccurs in the operation of .ty ographical machines, the matrix 96 won (1lock the intermediate channel member 94 and the ma azine 16 so as toprevent the movement 0 the magazine, or otherwise damage would result tosome of the machine parts in the event an attempt were made to move themagazine before the obstructing matrix were removed.

An attempt to move the magazine in such case, with the use of myimproved mechanism, would result in a slight movement of theintermediate channel member 94, and this movement would eifect a slightmovement of the arm 71 and the bell-crank 69 in a directioncorresponding to the direction of movement of the magazine. The movementof the bell crank rocks the shaft 80 on the back of the machine in itshearings and by means of the hereinbefore described connections with thelock 85, one 'or the other of the locking lugs 89 will engage theratchet or gear 91 and prevent the further rotation of the operatingcrank 56 until the obstructing matrix has been removed In order toaccommodate the key rods 97 to the movement of the magazines when theyare changed from. one to another osition relative thereto, the upperends 0 the rods 97 are deflected sullicicntly to properly engage theescapement verges 98 at the lower ends of the magazines to conform to myimproved arrangement of the megazines. Vertical levcrs 99 are pivoted attheir lower ends to a longitudinal shaft 100 which extends across themachine-frame and is journalcd at opposite ends in. brackets 100', Theupper em; s of the lovers 99 are pivoted to the horizontal key rod guideplate 101 mo ern which has rectangular perforations 102 through whichthe ke rods 97 are extended and through which they move freely whenactuated by the key bars on the keyboard, in the ordinary manner.

Brackets 103 are formed on .or they may be suitably secured to the frontframe me her. for holding and slidahly receiving the forward portion ofthe guide plate 101 so that when the key rods are moved forward orbackward, the guide plate will move on the brackets a correspondingdistance and will at all times retain its norn'iallyhorizontal'positjon. The levers 99 are connected midway of theirextremities by means of a rod 104 andthc rear end of an arm 10? ispivoted to the rod 101 about midway between the levcrs 99, the arm 105having a notch 105 in its forward end 104' which is adapted to engagethe edge of the flange 59 on the operating crank 56. This connectionbetween the levers 99 and the crank 56 serves to operahly connect thebank of key rods 97 with the o icrating crank 56 so that \vl'icn achange 0' magazines is made the outward movement of the crank 56 willeflcct the simultancmls and uniform move- -ment of all of the key rods97 outwaydly from the magazines and permit the passage of the lower endsof the magazines 16 by the upper ends of the key rods. The arm 105 isprevented from longitudinal movement on the rod 104 by means of pins 105secured in the rod 10% on opposite sides of the arm. as shown in Fig.10.

It necessary, in order that the escapement verges may he a tlmtcd attheir for- Ward ends by the key rods 97 to permit the engagement anddisengagement of the key rods therewith to provide a duplex series ofverges each verge oi the series being separately pivoted on rods 98 and98. The lower series of verges 98 are mounted on the rod 98 and theupper series 98' on the rod 98', The two series of verges are adapted toact in \mison for releasing the mat; riccs 96 from the magazines 16 inthe usual manner and the co-acting verges 98 and 98 of each series areresiliently connected by means of springs 98 which restore the verges tonormal position after a matrix has been released. The springs 98' arecoiled about the wire from which they are formed, the straight portionof the wires extending through slots 98 in the rear ends of the forwardverges and terminating in loops around the end forward ends 98 of therear verges. The inner ends of both sets of verges have awls 98 whichextend through slots in the ottom magazine plates anaem a ,Verges 98' bymeans of the connections through the springs 98, the verges 9S servingto revent the passage of the second matrix 111 the channel from thelower end. The springs 98" restore the verges to normal position aftertheir operation for releasing the matrices and re-aline them with theirpivot rods 98 and 9,8".

In the event of an overstroke of a key rod 97, or in the event that amatrix is in such position as to prevent the operation of.

the rear verges 98', which sometimes occurs, the forward verges willoperate as usual and compress the springs 98 without operating the rearverges 98'.

It will become more fully apparent as the description of my inventionprogresses fhatdt is necessary to stop the operation of the distributerscrews 106 106 and 106 \vhen'the magazines are being moved from oneposition to another, and in order to accomplish this result I providethe ordinary disfributer driving pulley 106 which, instead of beingfixed to the intermediate driving shaft 107 of the machine, is looselymounted on the shaft and is normally driven by frictional engagementwith the outer flange 108 of a clutch member 109 which is fixed to theshaft 107 and is slidable on the shaft. A spring 110 is carried by theshaft 107 and is compressible between the flange 111 of the clutch and aset collar 112 on the shaft, thus holding the clutch in resilient andfrictional engagement with the pulley 106 for effecting the operation ofthe distributer screws. A set collar 113 is fixed to the shaft 10? onthe opposite side of the pulley 106 from the clutch 109 for receivingthe thrust of the pulley and also for frictionally engaging the oppositeside of the pulley.

The pulley 106 is operably connected with the distributing mechanism bymeans of the intermediate pulleys 106 and 106 car ried by a shaft 106which is journaled in a bracket 106 at the rear of the machine the belt106 connecting the pulleys 106an 106", the belt 106 connecting thepulleys 106 and 106 on the shafts 106 and 106, respeo tively, the shaft106 bein common to all machines of this class, an gears 106 and 106which drive the distributor screws 106 106 and 106'. v

The arrangement of the distributer driving belts is different from theordinary arrangement, and necessarily, for the purpose of preventing theinterference of the belts with the movement of the magazines 16 whenthey are witlidrawn from the maga zine (frame 14. The magazines 16 arere movable from and insertible laterally in the frame 14 through theopening in the frame, from which position, after their removal, they maybe lowered on a rack positioned .adjacent to the side of the magazineframe imd which has parallel bars 24, to a position from which they maybe removed to a place of storage.

The bars 24 are integral with or may be suitably secured to stems 24which are slidably dis osed in and extend entirely through a swivelblock 24. The stems 24 are arranged in diagonal planes at right angles,or substantially so, relative to each other, and are positioned onopposite sides of the center of the block 24. The stems are held in adesired position in the block by means of transversely disposed pins 24which engage annular grooves 24 in the stems 24" of the bars. The block24: has a stem 24' which is pivotally supported in the bracket 24 formedon and extending outwardly from the arm 2.

As a magazine 16 is withdrawn from the frame 14 the T bar 19 on themagazine which is to be removed slidably engages the bar 24" "on. theswivel rack, and when completely withdrawn from the frame, the magazinemay be suspended 'vertically'from the rack as indicated in broken linesin Fig. 15, one of the flanges of the Tin, such case resting in therecess 24' of the bar 24 (Fig. 15*). The magazine may be then removed toa convenient place of storage, or, it may be pivotally moved with theswivel block 24 to the rear osition shown in Fig. 15, and so held forurther use. The movement of the block 24 for disposing of the removed maazine places the other bar on the block in t e position previouslyoccupied by the first bar to permit the insertion of a new 100 magazine.

Either of two methods may be utilized for alining the bars 19 on themagazines with the bars 24 on the rack. The rods 24" which carry thebars 24" may be adjusted relative 5 to the swivel block 24 by means ofthe retaining pins 24 which engage the annular grooves 24 in the rods orstems 24, the pin being removed from the block 24 and re-inserted so asto engage a different one 110 of the grooves 24 in the stem to beadjusted; or, the magazine 16 may be raised or low ered to correspond tothe position of the bars 24:, for removal, by the operation of thehandle 57 on the crank 56, as described.

It should be understood that the magazines may be inserted in andremoved from the frame 14 during and without stopping the operation ofthe distributing mechanism, and that any magazine other than that in 20operative position may be removed by an attendant without disturbing theoperation of the keyboard by the adjustment of the stems 24* so as toregister with the T bar 19 of a magazine selected to be removed. A maga-125 zine which may have been temporal-i1 removed and turned to the rearposition s own in broken lines in Fig. 1.5, may be restored to theproper position for insertion in the frame 14 by moving the swivel block24 130 on its axis until the rack bar 21" is prop erly alined with theT-bar 19, the magazine being then inserted in. the position in the framefrom which it was removed, or, in another position, provided that theframe 14 is moved by oierating the crank 56 by means of the ban le 57.

From the description of the magazine rack, it is readil apparent thatany magazine may be rea ily transposed so as to register with theauxiliary delivery channel 124,as shown in Fig. 6 and which will behereinafter described, and may be rendered capable of cooperation withthe magazine in regular operative position in the machine. The rack bars24, when not in use, may be tilted with their stems 21" to the positionsshown in broken lines in Fig. l. The rear bar carried bytthe stem 2 1closest to the supportingarm 2 is first tilted, and the front barcarried by the outer stem, is then tilted and serves to retain the innerbar in' its tilted position. The-bars 2 1", as shown in full lines inFig. 1, occupy horizontal planes, and when the are tilted as described.b the turning 0 their stems 24" in the bloc 24, the bars occupy inclinedpositions, as represented by the broken lines. The outer bar is thenmanually engaged by a latch 24 suitably ivoted on the arm 2, the latchthus holding oth bars in their tilted positions for the purpose ofeconomizing space at the side of the machine. The fulcrum pin of thelatch 24" should be of sufiicient length nearly as to position the latchin a lane coincident with the vertical center of t e block 21, or

When the key rods 97 are moved forward, as hereinbefore described, topermit the movement of the magazines, alatch 114 which is fixed to thecrank shaft 136 and is in normal engagement with an arm 115 of a clutchactuating lever 116 clfects the operation of a clutch lever which ispivoted at 117 to a lug 118 on the machine frame 1 and the arm 119 ofthe lever 116 moves the clutch 109 out of contact with the pulley 106 onthe shaft 107 by means of the engagement of the clutch lever arm 119with the annular groove 120 formed between the flanges 108 and 111 ofthe clutch, thus preventing the operation of the distributor screws. Theshaft 107 is driven by means of a belt 121 from the main driving shaftof the machine which runs over and operates a pulley 122 on the shaft107.

It is preferable to locate the magazine operatin means of my inventionapproximalely a ove the center of the keyboard in proximity to theoperator, and this necessitates the extension of the magazine operatingshaft 44 through the bank of key rods 97 and the deflection of at leasttwo of the key rods, as shown in Fig. .9, to provide clearance for theshaft. The rods 97 are preferably cut on opposite sides of the shaft 44and aredeflected outwardly from the shaft for a distance sullicicnt topermit the shaft 11 to clear the rods. The upper and lower portions ofthe rods thus out are In order that the matrices from two maga zines maybe mixed in a hnc, I provide an auxlliary matrix delivery channel 124which is connected with the main delivery channel 125, as shown in Fig.6. .Vhen the auxiliary channel 12-1 is lowered to operative pi sition,as shown in full lines, it is unnecessary to stop the operation of thedistributing mechanism and means is provided in 8.

this invention to this end. The auxiliary channel 124 is suspended froma rock-sha t 126 which is journaled iiarnis 127 and 1:28 on oppositesides of the machine frame a nd the member 124 is held by arms 125)secured to the channel plate 130. The channel memher 124 may be movedlaterally to any one of several positions according to the character ofthe matrices to be withdrawn from the upper magazine; for example, whenfig urcs or sm all capital letters are to be drawn from the uppermagazine, the member 121 may be placed in a central position relative tothe keyboard; if an occasional group of capital letters were desired themember 121 ma be moved to the extreme right; and ii? an occasional lowercase" grou were desired from the upper magazine t is number may be movedto the extreme left. .Because of the fact that the member 124- eonnec-swith comparatively few of the key rods in any one of its severalpositions, the matrices may ordinarily be withdrawn from two magazineswhile certain groups of keys are for the time being reserved for useonly in connection with the upper magazine. For instance when smallcapital letters or figures are to be taken from the upper magazinc andmixed in a line with matrices from the lower magazine, it is unlikelythat small 0817113313 or figures of a different kind would be used inthesame line. Thus the grou )s of keys controlling such characters could betem orarily reserved for use in connection with the upper magazine.

from two magazines to be returned to their pro er magazlnes, as will hehereinafter descr1 ed. The shaft 126 has a longitudinal groove 132 ofsufllcient length to permit the 12 maximum lateral movement of thechannel member 124 and pins 131 are secured in the upper ends of thearms 129 which engage ermit the free more 75 ment of the shaft an rods.

This ar- .rangement causes the matrices thus mixed delivery means whenlowered to operative position oscillates the movable section 146 of thedistribute v entrance channel and causes this movable section toregister with the magazine next above the one in normal and regularoperative position.

The auxiliary delivery means is movable longitudinally on the shaft 126to a position oppositea selected movable section 146 of the distributerentrance and the connecting rod 154 may be readily disconnected from oneset of the hooks 154 and connected with another set of the hooks onanother of the sections, of the distributer entrance. The rod 154 mayalso be disconnected at one or both ends when it is desired'to use but asingle magazine so as not to interfere with the openin and closing orthe movement of the distributer entrance as a. unit for purposes which'will appear later on in the description. i

The intermediate channel entrance 94 which operates the connecting rods78 and 84, as hereinbefore described. in addition, cotiperates with theusual channel entrance 95 for guiding the matrices from the distributorbar 155 to any of the magazines 16, regardless of their position in themachine. For use in a four magazine machine this channel entrance ismade with seven channels as shown in Fig. 6, so that with any of themagazines in operative position each of the other magazines willregister with one of the other intermediate channels for purposes whichI will now describe.

The magazines of typographical machines as heretofore constructed areincapable'of movement relative to the channel entrance until all of thematrices in a previously set line have been distributed, as otherwisethe matrices would be distributed to the wrong magazine; whereas in myimproved means it is unnecessary for an operator to wait for thedistribution of a previously set line before changing the position ofthe magazines.

The usual channel entrance 95 is mounted on a frame 93 which ispivotally held on arms 15 6 attached by means of pins or screws 15'? tothe arms 71 and 71 to which the intermediate channel entrance 94 is alsosecured by common means. The upper ends of the arms 156 terminate withthe intermediate channel entrance' partitions 95 immediately beneath thematrices 96 as they depend from the distributor bar 155. trunnions 159support the frame 93 in the ends of the arms 156 and form the axis of acircle to which the upper edges of the intermediate channel plates 160coniorm in position, so that the channel entrance 95 may be radiallymoved'about the axes of the trunnions for registering the lower endthereof with a selected one of the interme- The diate channels forconducting the matrices to a selected magazine, whether in operative orinoperative position.

The channel entrance 95 is held normally in position for delivering thematrices to the magazine which is in operative position in the machineby means of a spring 161 which is secured at the upper end to the end ofthe frame 93 of the channel entrance as shown in broken lines in 12, andat the lower end to the arm 156. i he channel entrance 95 is movablepivotally about its axis against the tension of the spring 161 andwith'the movement of the operative magazine for a suflicient period oftime to permit the delivery of any undistributed matrices to themagazine which is being moved from operative position, the distributerscrews being stopped as hcreinbefore described, whilethe magazines arebeing moved.

In order that the channel entrance95 may be thus moved with the magazine16, I provide an arm 162 (Fig. 123 which is pivoted to the frame member11 on a pin 163 and the opposite end of which has a plural ity ofnotches 164 which correspond in number to the number of the magazines 16accomodated by the magazine frame 1011. A pin 165 which is secured inthe end of the channel entrance frame 93 is adapted to engage one of thenotches 164 which come sponds to the particular magazine in operativeposition. The arm 162 serves to operably connect the frame 11 with thechannel entrance 95 so that a corresponding and simultaneous movement ofthe magazine and channel entrance may be effected for the purposedescribed. A sprin attached at opposite ends to t e arm 162 and thelower ortion of the frame 11 maintains the norma engagement of the armWith the pin 165. I

After the magazine frame has been raised or lowered to bring a selectedmagazine to operative position, the matrices may be immediately drawnfrom the magazine so selected; but, before such matrices are carried tothe distributor the entrance channel must be restored to normalposition, sufficient time having elapsed to permit the distribution ofthe previously used matrices. This restoration of the entrance channelis accoinplished by means ofa lever 167 which is pivoted to the frame11. on a pin 168, the upper end of the lever terminating beneath andengaging the edge of the arm 162 and the lower end of the leverdepending from the frame to a position convenient to the operator.

The movement of the lower end of the lever 167 raises the upper endthereof and releases the arm 162 from the pin 165, thus permitting theentrance 95 to move into normal position by means of the tension'of 166which is One end of the shaft 126 carries a short leverltit vhich isfixed to the shaft and pivotcd at till. end to the vertical connectingrod 134-. An elongated slot 135 is iormed in the lower end of the rod134, as shown in Fig. 11, which receives the crank end 136 of the shaft101 for the purpose of connecting; and etl'ecting the. aimulraneousoperation of the shafts 10 1 and 1% and the disengage ment. of the latch1l-l from the clutch arm 115 so that the bank of key rods 97 may bemoved out of operative relation with the rficapenient nn-chanisuiwithout stopping the operation of the diauibuling screws. The handle 57on th crank an may be moved outwardly, lor disengaging the rib (it) onthe crank from the Hint lit in the hos-5 .33 without. turning in orderto disconnect the upper ends of the key Hills 537 from one of themagazines and connect them with a scries oli intermediate key rods 13?earr'cd by the auxiliary delivery channel 124.

\Vhcn the latch 111 is engaged with the bell crank 115, the spring 110serves to retain the engagement. of the key rods 97 with the verges 98.provided that the rib 60 on the crank 56 is in registration with theslot 61 in the boss 53; but when the latch Ill is disenga ed from thehell crank 11 5, the spring 110 does not. so act and. the key rods J7will engage the dogs 138. Also the crank 56 may be moved slightlywithout materially changing the positions of the magazines, so that. therib (30 cannot rci nter the slot (1.1 while the auxiliary delivery means124 in op ratire, crank 56 in being turned. the rib 60 and a similar rib6U movably engage the full face of the boss 53, and thus prevent anyshifting of the key rods during the rotation of the crank.

The forward movement of the key rods 97 moves the upper ends thereoffrom beneath the verges J8 to positions beneath the free ends of aseries of dogs 138 which normally form a part of tihe'rear wall 139 ofthe main delivery channel 125, The series of dogs 138 are commonlymounted on a longitudinally disposed rod 110 which is supported atconvenient intervals on brackets 1+1 formed on the-rear wall 139 of thechannel 125. When the key rods 97 and. the dogs 138 are in 0 erativcrelation and the key rods are operated in theuaual manner, the dogs areactuated by the key rods 97 and 'engage and actuate the auxiliary sericsof key rods 13? which are pivotal v; mounted on a rod 142. carried barms 1 forme'd'on the rear wall 144 of the auxiliagymlelivery channelv124.

poentum subdivided into a plurality of When in such poaition and whilethe The. auxil ary key rods 137, when actuated as above described,engage and actuate the vergepawls 98 of the magazine 10 next above themagazine which is in regular operative position in the machine and withwhich the auxiliary delivery channel 124 is eoni'lected. a: shown in Fig6. The downward mow ment of the auxiliary key rods 13? is illited bymeans of a rod 1th carried by the arms 143, when the auxiliary deliverychan nel 124 is being moved out of operative or, in approachingoperative position, when swung downwardly.

The mixture of the matrices from the in o magazines in an assembled lineiieca silate. the provision of means for returning the matrices to theparticular magazine from which they were withdrawn and forthin purposethe distributor entrance channels are movable sertions, as shown in Fig.16. The movable sections of this entrance correspoml to that part of thekeyboard which designates the characters most likely to be contained ina magazine other than the one in operative position, as: for instance.figures and small capital letters, which are ordinarily plat-ed at thecentral position and to the extreme rixht of the keyboard.

in the fragmentary view of the distributer i. utrance shown in Fig. 16the movable seetion 116 and the relatively stationary sec,- tions .tltare held on a frame 93 by means of screws 149. The movable section ismounted between the stationary sections and the end partitions 150 ofthe movable section are held in contact with the end parti tions 151 ofthe stationary sections and hingedly secured thereto by means of rivets-152 at their upper ends. Two of the en trance partitions near the centerof the movable section HG have books 151' which are adapted to engage.in the event that. two magazines are to be used coiipe'ativel a pin 153which is carried by a connecting rod 154 connected with and movablelongi tudiua ly by the op ration of the auxiliary delivery channel 124when the latter is moved to or from operative position.

The connecting rod 154 is operably (onuectrd with the channel Lntlllltl'12% by means of the forward bifurcated end 155 which is engaged by a rod156 arms 129 of the channel member plate 139; by means of whichconnection the auxilia ri held in the till the spring 161. Therestoration of the entrance to normal position, after another magazinehas been moved into o 'ierative po sition, permits the engagement of thenotch in the arm 16: which corresponds to the new magazine with the pin165.

The channel plates ]60 which i'orm the intermediate channels in the[1191111)(51 94: are held in spaced relation by means of the end plates16!) and at convenient intervals between the ends by means of thepartitions 158. The partitions are preferably made in two parts forconvenience in assembling the exterior edges overlapping and being heldtogether by means of a rod 170, which is preferably continuous forconnecting and upon which the partitions 158 are threaded. Each of thechannel plates 160 is slotted on the opposite edges, as at 171, toreceive the edges of the partitions and prevent their displacement.

The channel entrance 95 and intermediate channel entrance 91 are held innormal position by means of springs 172 which are attached at theirlowei ends to arms 173 fixed t0 the pins 15? to which the charnclentrance is also fixed, and at their u 'aer ends to the pins 70 in thearms 71 and :1. The intermediate channel frame 92 has .1 gs 174 on theupper end and on. opposite s. 'les which hold adjusting screws 175 andpins 1'76 are secured in the arms T1 and 71 which are adapted to coactwith the adjusting screws for limiting the forward movementof the frame92. Lock nuts 17? are provided on the adjusting screws 175 in order thatthe adjusting screws may be permanently adjusted to a desired position.

The primary and intermediate channel entrance by means of their commonsupports may. in the event of an obstruction in the channel entrance.or. for the purpose of atfording access to the magazines, be movedoutwardly and backwardly from their normal position. as indicated inbroken lines in Fig. 6, against the tension of. the springs 1.?2. Thismovement of the entrances is limited downwardly by means of pins 178which are carried by the lower extended ends of .e arms 71 and 71. andwith which the in 173 on the pins 157 engage.

In Figs. 6 and 14 I show a channel bar 1" which overhangs the channelentrance phv 180 and is adapted to move slightly the: with foraccurately guiding the matri' s into the channel entrances when theydrop from the distributor bar 155. The bar 179 has arms 181 at oppositeends by means of which the ar is suspended from brackets 182 secured tothe distributor head 183 on pins 184. Ribs 185 are formed on the bar 179and correspond in number and position to the partitions in the. channelentrance. thus serving to guide the matrices by their upper cars intothe entrance channels immediately after they drop from the dis irihuterbar 1.55.
